The KStar OpenMP Compiler

Keywords: Source-to-source compiler - OpenMP - Task scheduling - Compilers - Data parallelism

Functional Description: The KStar software is a source-to-source OpenMP compiler for languages C and C++. The KStar compiler translates OpenMP directives and constructs into API calls from the StarPU runtime system or the XKaapi runtime system. The KStar compiler is virtually fully compliant with OpenMP 3.0 constructs. The KStar compiler supports OpenMP 4.0 dependent tasks and accelerated targets.
